[Intro]
There's a voice in the quiet
When the arguments end
When the certainty fades
And the night closes in

I can hear it calling
Through the noise of my heart
Through the pride I defended
From the very start

[Verse 1]
Pride was a shadow
Living under my skin
Feeding on every word
Every argument I'd win

It whispered softly
"You are always right"
And I believed it
In the comfort of the fight

[Verse 2]
I saw every failure
In the hearts of other men
Every flaw, every weakness
Again and again

But the mirror was silent
Till Your mercy appeared
And the truth I was hiding
Became suddenly clear

[Bridge]
Not by strength
Not by will
Not the wars
I tried to win

But Your mercy
Breaking through
What my heart
Could never do

[Verse 3]
And the throne I defended
Began to fall apart
When the hand of Your mercy
Reached into my heart

Every crown I was wearing
Turned to dust in the night
And the pride I protected
Lost the power to fight

[Final Chorus]
Still this proud heart
By the power of Your hand
Break the throne I built in blindness
Where my restless thoughts would stand

Still this proud heart
Let Your quiet mercy reign
Till the war inside is silenced
By the glory of Your name

[Outro]
In the silence of the soul
Where the hidden battles start
There remains a quiet kingdom
Where Your grace has stilled my heart
